in both sexes. The circuit mechanisms by which oxytocin modulates social behavior are …

The neurodevelopmental and dopamine hypotheses are leading theories of the
pathoetiology of schizophrenia, but they were developed in isolation. However, since they …

Deep learning has seen remarkable developments over the last years, many of them
inspired by neuroscience. However, the main learning mechanism behind these advances …

Activity-dependent neuronal plasticity is a fundamental mechanism through which the
nervous system adapts to sensory experience. Several lines of evidence suggest that …

The hippocampus is crucial for episodic memory, but it is also involved in online prediction.
Evidence suggests that a unitary hippocampal code underlies both episodic memory and …

Neuronal networks with strong recurrent connectivity provide the brain with a powerful
means to perform complex computational tasks. However, high-gain excitatory networks are …

Synaptic disturbances in excitatory to inhibitory (E/I) balance in forebrain circuits are thought
to contribute to the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia, although direct …

Although a wealth of data have elucidated the structure and physiology of neuronal circuits,
we still only have a very limited understanding of how behavioral learning is implemented at …

Depression and anxiety disorders are the two most prevalent psychiatric diseases that affect
hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide. Understanding the etiology and related …

Humans and many other animals have an enormous capacity to learn about sensory stimuli
and to master new skills. However, many of the mechanisms that enable us to learn remain …
